| Summary: | "Back in the bad old days, when Billy Graves worked for an anti-crime unit in the South Bronx known as the Wild Geese, the NYPD branded him as a cowboy. Now forty, he has somehow survived and become a sergeant in Manhattan Night Watch. Mostly, his team of detectives conducts a series of holding actions--and after years in police purgatory, Billy is content simply to do his job. But soon after he gets a 4:00 a.m. call about the fatal knifing of a man in Penn Station, his investigation moves beyond the usual handoff to the day shift. And when he discovers that the victim was once a suspect in the unsolved murder of a 12-year-old boy, he finds himself drawn back to the mid-1990s when the Wild Geese were at their most wayward."-- |
